The home was the residence of my grandparents. Me and my parents decided 2 years ago to restore it. We spent a lot of time to do that. In fact we try to preserve as much as possible of hand-made forniture of the old time. The result is a completely fine restored house with some luxury details. Innovative materials and traditional, warm, wood are living together. In the wood-coated lounge there is a fire-place for those who will decide to pass a romantic winter week-end in Tuscany!

Gabrio and his mom were very warm in welcoming us. The description of accommodation is very accurate. They took at most care in every detail of the house, to make the stay peaceful. I would say the house is much more beautiful than it looks in the host pictures. The surrounding scenic view was stunning. 10 mins drive to the base of a peak and alpi apuane chain. A great place to chill, have a picnic and trek (many paths).. Overall it was an amazing experience. Will for sure recommend.

Hosts very welcoming and helpful, gave us many pleasant attentions. recently renovated accommodation, clean and tidy, has all the necessities for your stay (linen, dishes ..) as well as dishwasher, washing machine, microwave. Gabrio has even provided us with a cot for our child, and gave us a sweet welcome! In a few minutes you reach the village of Vagli and Campocatino. Car park a few tens of meters. It was a pleasure to stay with him, we will be back there again. Recommended!!!

Gabrio was an exceptional super host! It was very helpful for check in and friendly because at home we did find a lot of extras that were not provided, but were very welcome! The apartment is new, very nice and complete with all the essentials: prefect for two people! Besides the veranda is the icing on the cake of the whole apartment. The location is convenient, it is just minutes to Vagli Sotto, while you're very close to the oasis of Campocatino (absolutely recommended, magical place!). It was a pleasure to stay by Gabrio, I hope there will be other opportunities in the future!

Benedetta2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Vagli, Gabrio and his mother gave us a warm welcome! The house is even more beautiful than the pictures show and contains everything you need for a your stay. Vagli and it's surrounding is very beautiful and quiet, so you can enjoy nature and go trekking or just take pictures of it. :) Also it isn't too far away from other places in the Tuscany so you can have day-trips with your car. Gabrio himself is a great guy and always there if you need any help for answering your questions about the house, recommendations where to go and what to do...or if your car isn't used to the italian way of driving and decides to break down, Gabrio has the solution to everything! :) I can recommend taking this trip for sure, you won't regret it. So thanks again Gabrio and all the best for your future!

Contemporary rustic house in a traditional rural village in Tuscany. You will love your stay!

This is a truly rare opportunity to live in a traditional rural village in Tuscany and in an authentic rustic house rich of history and memories. As I won't be able to spend time in my house in Vagli Sotto over the summer, I am considering to rent it.
Ideally you are an open individual, respectful of cross-cultural traditions and appreciative of authentic life and space. You could live in alone, with your partner, your kids, your pets or your friends. You might be an artist, a writer, someone on sabbatical who needs to access creativity while living in a very inspiring and relaxing environment. You are looking to stay long period from 5 days up to one month.
The house is also the perfect base to appreciate the pleasures of simple village life and explore the surrounding countryside. You will be immersed in the outstanding heritage of this exceptional medieval stone village at a time when the traditions of the Tuscan countryside are under threat.
The house is situated in the oldest part of the village next to the main square of San Regolo which host the old church. Vagli Sotto makes a perfect experience for those who enjoys authenticity, simplicity, slow pace of life and nature.
The house itself is rustic, simply furnished but comfortable, sleeping up to five people. The house consists of a large dining room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a large studio area, and two double bedrooms. The dining area leads directly on the large sun terrace ideal for breakfast, dining “al fresco", reading and relaxing.
The house is overflowing with books (arts, literature, philosophy), family pictures and has two wood burning stoves on each floor to keep it warm mainly at the beginning of spring ( April & at times in May depending on weather condition) and the beginning of autumn ( end of September and October). There is a washing machine but no dishwasher or television. The house is wired with free wireless WiFi, so you can play your own music directly from your iPhone or Mac.
In the village there is one coffee shop/newsagent. There is also one family running rustic restaurant and pizzeria less than one minute from the house. You can find the Post Office, one bank, one chemist, two rustic restaurants, one gelateria (ice cream shop) and one local shop for simple groceries and local products 10 minutes away the historical central. There is a bread delivery to the village each morning at 10.30 am in front of the bar Good Evening and a grocery van comes once a week. Another family running restaurant with breathtaking view is 15 minutes driving distance in the oasis of Campocatino.
If you think this is the right place for you, please drop me a message and I'll get in touch with you as soon as possible.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Catia

Vagli Sotto is a beautiful rural village in the mountain of the Garfagnana area in Tuscany. This is an authentic tuscan village dominated by rural life style, the change of seasons and slow pace of life!This place makes an ideal environment for those who is in search of a quiet and calming experience.
The village is mainly pedestrian and cars are left in the public car park which is only 3 minutes walking distance from the house.
Please note that the lake is an artificial lake and the water level varies depending on season and amount of rainfall.

Catia was a fantastic host, she provided us we heaps of advice on the local area and the villa is absolutely beautiful. Anna was also fantastic and really helped us settle in when we got there.

Elly2015-08-22T00:00:00Z

My husband and I truly had a wonderful, memorable time at this rustic gem in the Tuscan countryside. Catia most definitely lived up to being a "superhost" and was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. Every detail was attended to! We felt so lucky to have her as a host. Although we did not meet in person, you can easily sense her love for hospitality. We stayed for three weeks and had a cozy time enjoying the village, cooking, being creative in the space and meeting the locals...we enjoyed many negronis and wine with them :) Anna was also an amazing help and a lot of fun!! We found the grocery in the village to have everything we needed for food. Thank you, Catia!!

Angie2016-06-04T00:00:00Z

We had the most wonderful time at Catia's place in Vagli Sotto. We spent a 2-week long car free holiday. We took a train from Pisa and Catia helped us book a taxi from Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. I must admit that I was a bit apprehensive about getting bored with two weeks in a very small town without a car - but it was PERFECT! :) Vagli Sotto is such a beautiful town, the surroundings are breathtaking and everyone made us feel very welcome. Catia's house was beautifully decorated and the terrace was wonderful! We spent the days reading books on the terrace, taking long walks around the area, swimming in the lake and eating at the local "Good Evening Restaurant". We can recommend taking the walk to Campocatino (about 1-1,5 hour) - the views from Campocatino are stunning and the restaurant Il Refugio makes the best pizza :) Of course there are some small practical disadvantages when you don't have a car with you - but we didn't actually find it a problem at all. Every morning about 11am bread were delivered to Vagli Sotto. You don't know exactly when the car will arrive, but we just went down to the piazza and waited while we enjoyed a cappuccino at the restaurant. A couple of times a week a car with fruit, vegetables etc. will come to Vagli Sotto. About 20 minutes walk from the town you can buy groceries at Paolo's. He had everything we needed. In the same area you'll find the swimming pool, a couple of restaurants, a bank and a pharmacy. A few times a week there was a market in this part of town. The whole experience was even better than we expected and we thoroughly recommend it. The communication with Catia couldn't have been better, and Anna that helped us check in was also very helpful!

Elisabeth2015-08-16T00:00:00Z

Catia is a very caring host!!!

Anja2016-10-01T00:00:00Z

Vagli Sotto is a wonderful place! We truly enjoyed our stay there and will be back! We were lucky enough to meet Catia, Niko and little Luna who welcomed us warmly. The house is styled in a cosy manner with some lovely creative design features. We loved sitting on the terrace, relaxing and walking around the local area. There were no tourists when we were there which also was a unique experience. I highly recommend this wonderful property!

Alexa2016-04-21T00:00:00Z

From our first contact, Catia was very responsive and so lovely! She is a very kind and warm person. And she deserves high praise for her wonderful restoration of this beautiful, rustic house! It makes it even more special that many of the furnishings came from her parents and grandparents. I cannot be more positive about this listing! This is airbnb at its finest! I cannot wait till our next visit. Catia's list of things to do in the area was very helpful and greatly appreciated. We did not have the good fortune of meeting Catia in person, but Anna welcomed us and made us feel right at home - and she even took us to a local event at the nearby marble quarry!

Elexa2015-09-23T00:00:00Z

Absolutely beautiful house - very highly recommended. Catia was super helpful, the village and surroundings are extremely peaceful, and the terrace for sunny lunches and the wood burner for chilly evenings were perfect

nick2015-10-02T00:00:00Z

- Superb typical small two-bedroom house, renovated with great taste. Corresponds perfectly to the ad online. No bad surprise: very comfortable, very pleasant terrace and almost quiet ... We hear the voices of neighbors; very rarely a car passes. We were a couple with our two year old son and the place was ideal to rest and spend time with family. - Catia and her family are the perfect hosts: super nice, ready to help in all circumstances; a very pleasant meeting. - The village, a small peninsula at the lake has completely deceived us. Pretty stone houses suspended in time The people are very friendly. Go daily to the communal pool and great atmosphere. - The surroundings: forests and small villages, unspoilt nature, the sea or Lucca at 1:30. To recommend to all those who love quiet moments away from the excitement of the city, nature and the simple life.

B&B Casa di Sarah is in a little mountain village in Toscane: Vagli Sotto. The B&B has stunning views on the lake of Vagli. This authentic Italian house counts four private rooms to rent. The attic room is a fabulous space for a couple alone or with two children. Pascalle and Marc from Holland fell in love on the house when they were on holiday in Vagli Sotto. After a big renovation of the house they enjoy to welcome guests of the world. The B&B is named after their beloved daughter Sarah.

B&B Casa di Sarah is a big house with four bedrooms to rent and two bathrooms. The people in the village know the house as "La Grande Casa". The house has authentic terracotta floors, original beamed ceilings and a beautiful marble stair and marble doorposts. In one of the bathrooms is a golden wall! The place has a big living kitchen.The table is made by Marc from wooden planks of the ceilings of the house as well as the kitchen and the bathroom furniture. There are two master bedrooms with a beautiful view on the lake and the mountains. A smaller room with two single beds and a big romantic attic room. The garden is terraced and has also a stunning view of the lake and mountains. On the front of the house is a little garden bench to sit and enjoy the sun in the morning. From the afternoon till sunset there is sun in the garden. You can also hire the whole house.

Vagli Sotto is unique because it's one of the oldest villages in this part of Tuscany. The Garfagnana is not yet discovered by mass tourism. Recently they made a new walking bridge over the lake. So now you can walk from the village over two bridges to the other side of the village. There are also other beautiful walks and cycle routes in the neighborhood.
In Vagli Sotto there is a bar and restaurant (Goodevening) that is run by the warm family Buona Sera and were you can have a expresso or wine for 1 euro! The swimming pool is at the bottom of the village (10 minutes walk) and is free. You have only to pay if you want sun beds or an umbrella. The lake is wonderful to swim in.
A smal supermarket is at Paolo's (5 minutes drive). Every day the baker comes to Vagli Sotto with fresh bread. Bigger supermarkets are in the nice city Castelnuovo (20 minutes drive). Barga is a beautiful medieval town. Lucca is one and a half hour drive, so is the beach.

Traditional stone house in the centre of Vagli Sotto, ideal for 3/4 people. Set over 3 floors, with 2 double bedrooms, living room, kitchen, shower room, cellar in the basement.
+ CONTACT US FOR SPECIAL PROMOTIONS +

The house is in the centre of the village, in a small suggestive square. On the ground floor, as you enter, you'll enjoy a warm living area with comfortable seating and television. Separated from this, a renewed kitchen. On the first floor, in addition to a bathroom with shower, two double bedrooms furnished to the smallest details create a very special atmosphere. The winery, located in the basement, for which there is also an external access is convenient if guests have bicycles with them (we recommend to bring them with you, to better enjoy what nature offers) or more. Behind the house, in addition to the parking lot you have a private area where you can spend time relaxing.

The old village of Vagli Sotto, quaint and picturesque medieval village, has built the church of St Regolo in its centre, example of Romanesque-tone stones dating from the twelfth-thirteenth century. In the village, which overlooks the artificial lake of Vagli, there is only one business that, in addition to bars / newsagent / pizzeria, offers the typical dishes of Lucca and Italian. In the nearby village "Bivio", beyond the swimming pool with hydromassage (free access) open in summer, there are several restaurants, excellent homemade ice cream, a post office and a chemist.
On the shores of the lake has been inaugurated recently , the new suspended rope bridge, which boasts a panoramic view of the landscape . A playground, a nearby bio-park and a walk of a few kilometers around the lake are a nice opportunity for anyone who wants to enjoy nature and clean air. In summer it is also given the opportunity to make adventures on the water with canoes and bikes. Since May 2017 you can try out the system of the flight of the angel: a thrilling flight along 1.5 kilometers at a speed of 150 km / h, right on the lake.

When we arrived we were met by the hosts and shown around, not only had they made the house extremely cosy, they told us where to walk, what to see, where to eat and answered all of our questions. they were lovely hosts and this place is probably one of the most beautiful I've been to in Italy, beating the beauty of the old cultural hubs of Florence and Rome with pure serenity and unrivalled tranquility.

Hal2016-07-02T00:00:00Z

It has been a unique experience. The hosts are excellent and the house is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. We have been welcomed with open fire and a welcome dinner exquisite. And the place is wonderful. Thanks for everything, we love it to be in your home!

(EMAIL HIDDEN)2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

House in Vagli was really nice experience - it is lovely and very old stone house, with cozy kitchen area on the first floor and bedrooms on the second. The place is fully authentic, I recommend staying at the house for a vacation. Vagli itself is an interesting area - nearby are hiking tracks and beautiful lake, interesting villages. The host offered us a welcoming home-made dinner (we really appreciated it, as it is nothing that hosts usually do), it was fantastic! Thank you, Maria Christina, for the lovely stay.

Evgenia (eva)2016-07-16T00:00:00Z

We usually rent apartments for holidays in warm, familiar surroundings but we did not expect to see us really at (URL HIDDEN) family !! The house was really delicious and above all it is the first time that we find an environment which meets the description and especially clean and provided really really (URL HIDDEN) everything! the welcome of this family is the gem of the entire stay! People so helpful we have never found so far! they welcomed us with a warm dinner and many little touches that made us feel really (URL HIDDEN) davvvero little house is something extraordinary for those accustomed to the chaos of the city ... it seems to be back in time ... when you could still sleep serene serenity ..and there he breathes so much! the house is easily reached lying in a small environment ... for those who like to hike and go to the mountains is ideal especially for couples with two children having its comfortable rooms .The spacious and warm kitchen is equipped with everything you need for a holiday without any rinuncia.Essendo a pretty cool place is equipped with a beautiful brick fireplace that did turn the central heating to keep warm the whole casa.Ah wood was also provided by the structure ..bastava access to convenient cellar downstairs, with direct access from the apartment, and that's it! So in short I recommend it to everyone and I personally will not miss a second glimpse of this beautiful village!

Find peace is possibile!!The cottage la Belle Vallé is situated in Vagli Sotto, a village in the heart of Garfagnana.
The Belle Vallé faces on an incredible view thanks to it’s position which is situated on top of a hillock along the shores of the lake.

There is a small climb to the cottage
THE VILLAGE:
From this year it is possible to walk all along the shore of the lake thanks to a walkway that leads to the new “Ponte Tibetano” and to the peninsula of the old town.
From 1941 the lake brings with it the mystery of a submerged town that reappears every 10 years(approximately) to be admired in all its splendor. Vagli Sotto is an old village where in winter lives over a thousand people who earn their money thanks to the tourism and the the old quarries that produce precious marble.
Walking in the small streets of the town you will live suggestive experiences that makes you feel as if time has stopped.
Stopping and listening to the silence, peering between the leaves of old trees is perfect for those who want to escape from the constant noise and busy life of big cities.

From Garfagnana you can easily reach famous historical centers such as Lucca, Pisa and Florence, as well as the beach cities like Versilia, La Spezia and Cinque Terre. Closer you can find the Lunigiana with its castles,the Media Valle del Serchio which it’s Ponte del Diavolo bridge at Borgo a Mozzano marks the geographical entrance to the mountainous area of the province of Lucca and the Alta Versilia with whom we share a big part of the Apuan Alps.
Garfagnana, where time doesn’t run, the visiting card of the valley is a real invitation to enjoy a relaxing holiday: relax on the edge of a swimming pool or lie down on a meadow perfumed of thyme, in perfect silence listening to the sounds of nature that surrounds you.

The house is comfortable and very well appointed. The owners are very kind and always available. I highly recommend you to choose this accommodation to all those who love nature and are looking for tranquility.

Matteo's house was beautiful, exactly like the photos. Matteo had made a great effort to make sure that our stay was special, he had left us a bottle of wine and there was tea and coffee for us in the kitchen. The house is in the centre of the village, very close to the Good Evening bar and Pizza restaurant. The house is on a very steep hill so may not be suitable for everyone but no problem for us. There is a beautiful private garden that we enjoyed in the evenings.

Sally & Gavin2015-08-07T00:00:00Z

Enjoyed our few days in Vagli Sotto - great area for walking

Mark2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

Family atmosphere and great sympathy. Despite our delay of about two hours, Matthew has found a way to get us the keys and all the information necessary to spend a great stay. Lovely place, the apartment corresponded perfectly to the description. Absolutely recommended!

Angela2015-08-16T00:00:00Z

Matteo met us on arrival and kindly showed us around the property, he was very careful to make sure that we knew how everything worked. The bottle of wine and Ragu and Pasta was a nice touch. The property description was exactly right - the place is small and very quite and ideal for a couple. There is space to park a car just up the road. We had several meals outside in the garden area. The neighbourhood is a very pleasant small hamlet on top of a peninsula into a lake. There is no through traffic. There is one friendly bar and one family restaurant. There are others within walking distance down the hill and into other villages. There are several mountains to walk up on carefully marked trails and wonderful Beech and Chestnut woods to wander in. There are so many interesting local walks that we were out and about every day for over a week.

fiona2015-10-12T00:00:00Z

Matteo was a very welcoming guest! He helped us with our luggage and with some information about possible activities around the village. The house looks like the pictures, is fully equiped and is really romantic and comfortable for a couple. Vagli Sotto is a charmful place to rest and to travel to other destinations. Would recommend it again!

Bruno2016-08-10T00:00:00Z

Matteo and his wife very welcome despite our late arrival. The apartment is located in a very cute, quaint village, isolated but busy enough. The lake is beautiful, one can make several very pleasant walks and in the surrounding villages. The apartment is entirely to photos and it is very clean and functional. It is located in the basement of a family home, the upper floors are the subject of a lease to others but the outdoor areas are separated. However be aware that contrary to what is displayed a map, the village is 2h30 Florence, 1:30 of La Spezia and the coast with very winding roads and the village is quite isolated from the tourist centers of the region ( first village with a real super market 30 minutes at least). Moreover, internet hardly worked, even if the host tried to do everything to repair the key 3G. Finally last flat, I had a family concern that forced me to shorten my trip airbnb gold Matteo indicated the possibility to cancel (Formula flexible cancellation) and yet he refused any cancellation or any form of amicable settlement . Consideration should be given to not display something that is not feasible.

It is a lovely cottage in Vagli. If you go down here, you have to remember that the center in the mountains in a very quiet village. There is not much to do in the area, whether you really need more than an hour in the car to visit something. But in this village you will really relax. It just depends what kind of holiday you want! In the cottage would be a TV and wifi. But this was neither. We were also not available all week with our mobile phones. For that you had to go to the pub in the village.

Lovely spot! The area, the house, the views... all was great! Can't wait to go back there!

Katerina2016-09-10T00:00:00Z

We felt very welcome and it was a beautiful spot and the weather was lovely. The house was as pictured however the lake was about 20 meters lower than in the photos so a lot of mud rather than lake view! Still a very relaxing view though and the pool was brilliant as well as the wood BBQ which we cooked on every night. The property is very isolated which would be a plus to most but is a long way from civilisation for us who are from London and used to everything on our doorstep! Will still recommend for those who are looking to get away from it all.

Rebecca2016-09-29T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay with Valentina, the property was ideal and situated in beautiful surroundings. Valentina and Maria were really helpful during our stay and were fantastic hosts, very attentive. Anything we would have needed we would have had. It is well worth a walk down to the lake, which is just stunning. For us it was perfect, but as it's quite isolated it may not suit everyone. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing stay and would defiantly recommend it!

We generally liked this place, because of the well maintained house and pool but there were some strings attached. The lake is actually not a natural lake but it was created through a barrage and hence is absolutely not like on a picture. At the time we have spent our 4 days, it was drained down. You cannot really swim in this lake because of plenty of old trees in the water. The village is deserted, there are only 3 houses and no people beside you, which can be great but can be a bit spooky in a night. If you look for a real relaxation without a wifi and sounds of a city it is a right place to be but for us four days were too much.

Hellen2016-09-15T00:00:00Z

There are no words to describe our experience. The home is beautifully located...far enough to feel like you're in your own little paradise but close enough to visit spectacular local attractions, the house instantly felt like home once we walked in, and we were welcomed with such hospitality even if we were late when we got lost. The pictures on the Airbnb site does not do justice of the actual scenery in person, it is more magical more breathtaking on site. By far one of the best experiences on Airbnb to date. Highly recommended if you're looking for a perfect Italian getaway. There is no wifi which actually turned out to be a blessing In disguise.

Carine2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

If you're looking for peace and quiet in beautiful Tuscan surroundings, then this house is lovely. But know that you really are isolated in this location. It's a long and slow drive up steep windy roads to reach the house - which, admittedly, is part of the charm, but not good for easy access to shops or restaurants. The pictures show the lake in its most pristine - sadly, the lake was half-full during our visit, so the vista was compromised. Phone and wifi reception is not good in this location, so be prepared to be offline at times. Would love to say that we had an ideal stay in this potentially beautiful part of the world, but a few key negative points spoiled our overall impression of the house, unfortunately.

Amazing paradise hidden in the mountains :) I would recommend this place to everyone, is truly wonderful. We immediately wanted to book another two weeks for next summer but it's already fully booked and I know why ;) one of the most beautiful places I've ever had the pleasure staying at, we loved the pool, the lake view and mountains. It's lovely and fresh in the evenings and warm during the day when sun is out. The house is beautifully renovated and decorated, everything is new. Valentina has been great in replying to any questions we had, she even would have arranged food and drinks delivered if we needed! The owners are also very nice people, they brought us vegetables from their own garden :) Truly an exceptional place!

Our apartment is composed of one large double bedroom, living area with sofabed, a fully equipped kitchen, a modern bathroom with shower, hairdryer, washing machine. It is in a stone house in the heart of Gorfigliano, a village famous for its marble quarries and the beautiful Lake Paradiso, which is at less than 10 minutes drive. Details and furniture have been studied to ensure maximum comfort: ideal for a romantic break or for a family holiday, maybe with some friends in the adjoining cottage and house.
Free parking place is at 2 minutes walking distance from the house

Gorfigliano is a small village but has all facilities: bank, shops, laundry, newagent, church, restaurants and bar.

The apartment is located in the old family home of Damian. The interior is spacious, clean and in a rustic style and is equipped with all necessary facilities for short and long stays (spacious kitchen, bathroom with washing machine, wifi). Above the apartment there are also terraces where you can enjoy the wonderful panorama of the mountains of Garfagnana. Damiano has shown a very gracious host and helpful, assisting us from the arrival until the end of the stay. Widely I recommend this stay and I hope to repeat in the future!

Damiano was such a nice guy, he really helped us out and made sure we had everything we needed including helping us with a parking fine we picked up along the way. Thanks for a lovely stay Damiano.

Great apartment in a small mountain village in northern Italy. The kids loved the pool and we loved the views and Damiano was a great host with plenty of information and recommendations for where to eat and visit. The house can be a little hard to find but it is worth it. Be aware that some of the roads leading from the north are quite narrow and steep - if you are a less confident driver you may want to approach from Lucca in the south! The apartment contained all that was required for your stay. And was clean and comfortable.Thanks Damiano for making us feel welcome

Damiano is a very available and attentive host. We could discover the region and the mountain scenery with happiness. The apartment is small but newly renovated and very clean. The pool is shared. Communication was done without any problem with Damiano, thank you!

Great location if one likes relatively remote mountain village. Damiano was very helpful and attentive and keeps the place nice. He knows the area well and guided us when we needed Advice for restaurants, Lucca, national parks etc. The atmosphere in the village is great and the People at the local cafe welcoming. The apartment itself was a bit dark but not a problem as there are small terraces available and a BBQ near the pool area. The place is a good starting point for exploring the surrounding area, the many small villages, forest covered hills and mountains. All in all grat place

The house is located in a small mountain village in the natural park of Apuan Alps, just north of Tuscany. An ideal place for walks. The house is very clean with all the necessary services. RAS. The reception and the availability of Matteo are impeccable. We invite travelers who come here to visit the major sites of Tuscany to look good map and evaluate access times to major attractions (Florence, Pisa, Lucca, etc.) ... Further away than we thought .

Screeners di Sotto is a tiny but charming town in the Garfagnana, situated on a man-made lake and surrounded by mountains covered with beautiful forests. Excellent base for walking. The house is spacious, "vintage" furniture but everything in order and funzioanante

Domenico2016-08-09T00:00:00Z

Ms Piera was very kind and explained everything, inviting us to enjoy all the things of the house without problems. The house is lovely and has everything you need, impeccable cleanliness. The area is beautiful, perfect for a quiet holiday with children. Great pizza at the pizzeria Good Evening around the corner from the house.

Anna2016-08-22T00:00:00Z

A fantastic house! It 'was our starting point for wonderful excursions on the most beautiful peaks of the Apuan Alps. The house, accessoriatissima, is more beautiful than the photos make, has a large outdoor area, and Matthew was super attentive, meeting our every need. If we go back we will certainly Garfagnana by Matthew. Absolutely to recommend.

B&B Casa di Sarah is in a little mountain village in Toscane: Vagli Sotto. This authentic Italian house counts four private rooms to rent. This big romantic double room has a stunning view on the lake of Vagli. The Dutch couple Pascalle and Marc fell in love on the house when they were on holiday in Vagli Sotto. After a big renovation of the place they enjoy to welcome guests of the world. The B&B is named after their beloved daughter Sarah. Pascalle and Marc serve a European breakfast.

B&B Casa di Sarah is a big house with four bedrooms to rent and two bathrooms. The people in the village know the house as "La Grande Casa". The house has authentic terracotta floors, original beamed ceilings and a beautiful marble stair and marble doorposts. In one of the bathrooms is a golden wall! The place has a big living kitchen.The table is made by Marc from wooden planks of the ceilings of the house as well as the kitchen and the bathroom furniture. There are two master bedrooms with a beautiful view on the lake and the mountains. A smaller room with two single beds and a big romantic attic room. The garden is terraced and has also a stunning view of the lake and mountains. On the front of the house is a little garden bench to sit and enjoy the sun in the morning. From the afternoon till sunset there is sun in the garden. You can also hire the whole house.

Vagli Sotto is unique because it's one of the oldest villages in this part of Tuscany. The Garfagnana is not yet discovered by mass tourism. Recently they made a new walking bridge over the lake. So now you can walk from the village over two bridges to the other side of the village. There are also other beautiful walks and cycle routes in the neighborhood.
In Vagli Sotto there is a bar and restaurant (Goodevening) that is run by the warm family Buona Sera and were you can have a expresso or wine for 1 euro! The swimming pool is at the bottom of the village (10 minutes walk) and is free. You have only to pay if you want sun beds or an umbrella. The lake is wonderful to swim in.
A smal supermarket is at Paolo's (5 minutes drive). Every day the baker comes to Vagli Sotto with fresh bread. Bigger supermarkets are in the nice city Castelnuovo (20 minutes drive). Barga is a beautiful medieval town. Lucca is one and a half hour drive, so is the beach.

You land on an Italian film location. The village is so authentic. You imagine yourself in another world. A world without hunting and gejakker and everything must but where you can enjoy a beautiful view of a lake and other villages where you awakened by different types of bird sounds. Yee's house is large and fully equipped. Spacious bedrooms with beautiful views, two lovely bathrooms and a large living and dining. There is a large garden where you can relax and have fun in nearby towns with shops and numerous Italian ijssallons. Yee is a very sweet hostess. I was unfortunately short flu but Yee made sure I could rest out and even brought me breakfast in bed. Do you want fancy a location reminiscent of the film la vita e bella? Then you've come to the right place.
